General health system strengthening begins at the community level with the first responder, the call that gets through, and the help that arrives in time.

The KOFIH Ghana team visited the National Ambulance Service, Ghana to share findings from the feasibility study results on our Emergency Medical Service-Centered Health System Strengthening project in the Oti and Volta Regions.

Together with the CEO, his deputy, and their team, we outlined key areas of collaboration to ensure our project design makes a tangible impact on emergency medical services.

We remain committed to providing for Ghanaians, grounded in the right systems, partnerships, and conversations at the right time.

Some people live their lives determined to leave the world better than they met it, and KOFIH's dearest Dr LEE Jong-wook is proof of that.

Legacies are meant to grow, and for 20 years, Dr LEE Jong-wook's legacy keeps contributing to .

The first Korean to lead an international organization and the 6th Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Dr LEE Jong-wook devoted his life to fighting for better healthcare for everyone, everywhere.

His belief that "we must do the right thing, in the right place, in the right way" was not just something he said but something he lived by.

Two decades on, that belief is still the foundation of everything the Korea Foundation for International Healthcare (KOFIH) does.

This video is our tribute to his dedication and leadership, a reflection on the legacy he left behind, and a look at the future of global health his vision continues to shape.

When it comes to stroke care, every second can mean the difference between recovery, lifelong disability, or even death.

After completing the three-month Dr LEE Jong-wook Fellowship training for Clinical Experts in Korea last year, Dr. Romeo Boaheng returned to Ghana, determined to strengthen stroke care at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (CCTH).

Together with CCTH, we unveiled a fully equipped Stroke Unit last Tuesday, enhancing the hospital’s capacity to respond quickly and improve outcomes for stroke patients.

At KOFIH Ghana, we remain committed to strengthening specialised care and building resilient health systems across the country.
